Set close to the Chianti town of Tavernuzze and with postcard-perfect Florence just a short drive away, the location of this traditional villa is spot on. Perfect for a multi-generational family getaway, along with the main house, there is an annexe en-suite bedroom – perfect for guests looking for extra privacy. It’s worth noting that the homeowner and their dog live on the wider grounds, and the family may occasionally use the pool. But those terraces with a pizza oven and built-in barbecue are all yours for alfresco evening meals. Time it right, and you’ll be rewarded with magnificent sunsets over the surrounding vineyards and cypress trees.
